A NUMBER OF RULINGS AROUND THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD WHILE APPEALS ARE PURSUED. A DEADLY CRASH SHUTS DOWN LANES ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED TOLL ROAD. THE CRASH LEFT SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE ALONG THE ROADWAY. AT THREE THIS MORNING THE FHP SAYS 22-YEAR-OLD DYLAN SMITH WAS SPEEDING WHEN HE HIT A CONCRETE DIVIDER AT THE LEE VISTA TOLL BOOTH. TROOPERS SAY THE INITIAL FINDING ON THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT IS SUICIDE. BOB KEALING JOINS US AT THE SCENE WITH MORE ON THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE, HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO FIX, AND THE IMPACT ON DRIVERS. BOB? JIM, FOR MOST OF US WHO HAVE TRANS RESPONDERS, IF YOU -- TRANSPONDERS, IF YOU LOOK, THE FOLKS IN BETWEEN THE TOLL BOOTHS ARE NOT GOING TO SEE AN IMPACT GOING NORTH OR SOUTH. BUT IF YOU LOOK FURTHER OVER WHERE IT SAYS EXACT COINS, THOSE ARE THE TWO LANES AFFECTED BY THIS CRASH AND THE EXPRESSWAY SAYS IT'S GOING TAKE AT LEAST A COUPLE OF DAYS TO FIX THEM. DRIVERS HEADED NORTHBOUND ON THE GREENWAY AT LEE VISTA WILL FIND CONES BLOCKING OFF THE EXACT CHANGE LANES IN THE WAKE OF A FATAL CRASH HERE EARLY THIS MORNING. 2 OTHER MANNED LANES ARE OPEN FOR DRIVERS WHO NEED CHANGE SO THE AFFECT TO TRAFFIC IS MINIMAL, SAYS THE FHP. BUT THE CONCRETE DIVIDER BETWEEN THOSE EXACT CHANGE BOOTHS WAS HIT HEAD ON AND SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THEY ARE GOING TO NEED TO REPLACE PORTIONS OF IT SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME TO GET IT BACK TO FUNCTIONING. HOW MUCH TIME? AN EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY SPOKESMAN SAYS, QUOTE, WE ESTIMATE THAT THE 2 EXACT COIN LANES WILL BE CLOSED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. IT'S TOO EARLY TO ESTIMATE THE COST. BUT, AGAIN, THESE DIVIDERS, THIS CONCRETE DIVIDER THAT WAS STRUCK DID EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. INVESTIGATORS SAY, IT PROTECTED THE REST OF THE SUPER STRUCTURE FROM BEING DAMAGED. YOU KNOW, THESE LARGE CONCRETE DIVIDERS THAT WE SEE WHEN WE GO THROUGH THESE TOLL AREAS, THEY ARE MEANT TO ABSORB THESE HIGH IMPACT CRASHES AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED HERE. AND THAT'S WHAT PROTECTED PEOPLE WHO WERE IN THIS TOLL BOOTH AND
